How to Publish Website on IIS 7

Question

I am able to publish website by creating virtual directory under Default Web Site in IIS 7. In this case url becomes http://localhost/ABC where ABC is my website and it is working fine. But I have to publish website at same level to Default Web Site , not under it. In this case url becomes http://ABC:81 where 81 is port number, but website is not working.
Can any body solve it?

Answer 1

Turn off the default web site and add yours to run on port 80. You can only run one web site on one port on one hostname at a time.

EDIT: After reading your post again, are you trying to access a different hostname for the second server? http://ABC:81 is not valid unless ABC is a valid hostname. Change that to http://localhost:81 to test your other site.

Answer 2

for local PC we can use only

IP: 127.0.0.1 & hostname: localhost

both redirect the to local PC if you use http://ABC.com it will be check on DNS. so plz set hostname localhost and port 81. so u can browse http://localhost:81 . or u can set IP 127.0.0.1 and port 81 in binding so u can browse with http://127.0.0.1:81 also

Answer 3

If you want to use it for test purposes you can go to c:\windows\systen32\drivers\etc and edit host file and you can add:

127.0.0.1 abc

Then you can access your website through http://abc . Or you may use 127.0.0.1 www.abc.com in place
